    Thinking of this, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel elated and saw hope again. He quickly inquired about the direction of Jiyang, and then hurriedly bid farewell to Zhang Miao.  Zhang Miao had just gotten up and had not yet sobered up. When he heard that Zhang Wei was going to Jiyang to seek medical treatment, he hurriedly wrote a letter in person, stamped it with the official seal, and handed it to Zhang Wei and said: "You give this letter to the Jiyang County Magistrate. When he sees the letter  I will help you! My niece and son-in-law, be careful all the way, go back quickly!" Jiyang was in the northeast of Chenliu. Zhang Wei drove all the way and only caught up with the refugee team at noon, but the number of people in the team was obviously larger than what he saw yesterday.  There are a few missing bodies. From time to time, a few corpses appear in the grass on the roadside. It is not known whether they died of illness or starvation. They were simply rolled up with straw mats, and then no one cared about them.  The queue of refugees is very long, with young and old supporting each other. Occasionally, there are a few large families riding carriages, but they all move slowly. Everyone is a family unit and keeps a distance from each other. It seems that they are afraid that others will be more seriously ill and will be infected.  Home.  It was okay for the rich, as the patients had carriages and servants to look after them, but the same could not be said for the common people. The patients had to travel on their own. Although the journey was not very far, the physical exhaustion was severe, and many weak people died while seeking medical treatment.  on the way.  Some old people were infected with the plague and did not want to drag their families down. They followed the procession for a while, and then simply found a clean place to lie down and wait to die.  Zhang Wei saw a lot of life and death partings along the way. Some family members were reluctant to leave and cried bitterly. Some family members wept secretly and went on strong. However, most people have long been numb. As long as they are alive, they must continue on the road and work hard.  Stay alive.  It wasn't until the sun set in the west that Zhang Wei arrived at Waihuang County, which was only thirty or fifty miles away from Jiyang. He planned to stay here overnight and inquire about Jiyang's miracle doctor, and then set off on his journey early tomorrow morning.  ¡°Who knew that the county gate was heavily guarded, and the county magistrate issued a notice stating that in order to prevent the spread of the plague, Waihuang County was only allowed to leave, not enter. Many refugees were driven out by soldiers holding spears as soon as they reached the city gate.  At this time, a group of carriages and horses slowly arrived in front of the city gate. The horses pulling the carriages were all white horses without a trace of hair on their bodies. They were very eye-catching. A thin butler got out of the carriage. He bowed to the primary school guard who was guarding the gate.  He handed over his hands and started chatting.  Zhang Wei got off his horse and mingled with the refugees, squeezed towards the city gate, and listened attentively. He only heard the housekeeper's voice say in a shrill voice: "My lady is in the car. She is here to visit relatives. She is definitely not a sick person! The lady learned that the soldiers  I have been working hard guarding the city day and night, so I have specially ordered you to give me three hundred taels of silver and invite the officials to have a drink and relax in their free time. I also ask the officials to make it easier for me!" He was far away and his voice was not loud.  , Fortunately, Zhang Wei had cultivated the inner alchemy at this time, and his body senses were far superior to ordinary people, so he could hear clearly in the chaotic and noisy crowd.  The leader of the school stretched his neck and looked at the carriage for a while, then looked at the housekeeper up and down, and then said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Your young lady is also a sensible person, but it's just a small matter of drinking. If you let her  The county magistrate found out that my official position was not guaranteed! Not to mention losing my official position. If someone with the disease was really released, the people in the county would be in trouble! How could I dare to take such a big risk?  Absolutely not!" Zhang Wei thought: "This little school is doing its job faithfully, but it's rare to even have three hundred taels of silver!" The housekeeper laughed and waved, and two servants held up a gold-encrusted dish.  The big mahogany box came up. Not to mention how much gold and silver jewelry was inside, this box alone was worth a lot of money.  The principal opened the box a small crack, and he didn't know what he saw. He was so shocked that his eyes were straight. He was afraid that the treasure inside would make him unable to earn even one-tenth of the tenth of his life as an official.  The housekeeper seemed to have anticipated the primary school's reaction, and said with a smile: "My young lady is originally from Waihuang County. She had a relationship with Lord Bing before and received favors, so she ordered me to return this box to the official.  "Master! I hope Master Bing won't refuse!" Zhang Wei thought to himself, "This steward is quite experienced. He looks like someone who often interacts with officials. He is not only thoughtful, but he can also take care of the other party's face. I'm afraid it will be difficult for this small school to refuse!"  As expected, the principal smiled knowingly, ordered his cronies to collect the box, and then loudly said: "Although you have just left the city and returned, according to the regulations, you should not be allowed into the city. However, since none of you are infected, it's  If you commit this crime for the first time, I¡¯ll let you go for the time being. I won¡¯t do it again!¡± The steward gratefully escorted the convoy into the county town.  Zhang Wei lowered his head and looked at himself. He left in a hurry and didn't bring much money with him. How could he successfully bribe someone with just a few taels of silver?  It would be weird if they didn't laugh to death if I revealed my identity. The prefect's niece-in-law, this relationship is too far away!  Remembering that Lu Bu had been blocked in front of Chen Liu's gate before, he thought it would be more reliable to break in. He looked at the city wall, which was only two or three feet high, with a smile on his lips.  There aren¡¯t many guards in Waihuang County.?, coupled with the gathering of refugees outside the city, the main troops were arranged at the city gate. There were only a few sparse figures on the city wall. Zhang Wei tied his horse to a tree and saw the opportunity to leap into the city.  Because Waihuang County is the closest county to Jiyang, patients often pass by here. Although the county magistrate has ordered martial law, every household is still in danger. No one dares to go out easily. When encountering strangers, they walk around.  The streets were deserted.  On the contrary, the business of the inn was booming. Many wealthy families who came to Jiyang for medical treatment found ways to sneak into the county town either with money or connections. Because they were generous, they quickly paid for the inn's accommodation fees.  The sky-high price, although ordinary people can't afford it, is still considered "fair" for those wealthy families.  "Go, go, go, don't come and stay in the hotel if you don't have money. If you don't leave, I will report it to the government and arrest you!" When the innkeeper saw Zhang Wei coming alone, he knew that he had no money, so he couldn't help but say  Got the eviction order.  "Wait a minute, shopkeeper, I don't have to live in the store, but I can always ask you something!" Seeing how powerful this man was, Zhang Wei had no choice but to give in - he was not a robber, so he couldn't rely on force to solve everything.  .  The shopkeeper was not willing to pay attention to Zhang Wei, and while pushing him out, he said: "I don't know, I don't know anything. If you want to inquire, go elsewhere. This is an inn, not for you to inquire about things!" Zhang Wei also said  When he was about to speak, he was pushed hard by the shopkeeper and something fell from his waist, which was the jade pendant given by Zhao Yudan when he said goodbye.  When the shopkeeper saw the jade pendant, his expression changed. He pointed at the jade pendant and said tremblingly: "Can you show me this jade pendant? Where did you get it?" His words were much more polite.  .  Seeing that things were slowing down, Zhang Wei held the jade pendant in his hand, waved it in front of the shopkeeper, and said, "This is a gift from a friend of mine" The shopkeeper stared at it for a while, making sure it was correct.  Kneeling on the ground with a bang, he kowtowed and said: "The villain is short-sighted. I hope you will forgive me. The villain Zhao Qi pays homage to the master no, pays homage to the master!"
